Yes, that's because the backend needs a bridge's descriptor but doesn't
care about its distribution method.

Note that this service only tests the target's TCP port.  The port may
be reachable but the bridge may still be dysfunctional.  The /status
page actually fetches the target's descriptor, which gives you more
assurance that the bridge actually works.
